We've stuck by rules of lockdown to the letter. As have my parents.
DM and DDad are keen to visit tomorrow.
DM has been shielding (she's on the list). They're desperate to see DS. DM has been asking for several weeks to visit, I've said no; partly to do our civic duty, partly to protect her.
There is a good chance that this is the safest possible time for them to visit as DS returns to nursery next week when our lockdown bubble will be broken.
We've been working form home with DS(3) since the week before lockdown officially started. DS hasn't even been in a shop since the start, DH and I have each been to the shops twice in the however-many-weeks it is now. Literally no other contact with people.
We WOULD NOT be socially distancing in the garden (not big enough) but we are not a particularly physically close/huggy family.
I know it's breaking the rules. And until yesterday I wouldn't even have considered it.
But it dawned on me, if we don't do it now, DM and DDad might not be able to visit until there's a vaccine, and there's a fair chance DM won't make it that long (not terminally ill, but long term immuno compromised with underlying conditions).
WWYD.
